AN APPRECIATIVE NOTICE OF TIE OCEAN
CHRONICLE AND ROLLING BILLION.
A nautical friend has just handed the Listen
er some queer little newspapers, which are
printed on board the American ship Frank
Pendleton, which sails all over the world, hut
which halls, it seems. from Searsport, Me. The
paper is neat little folio, printed and publish
ed at sea, and only at sea- by the captain eff the
ship, F. L. Nichols. Its name is the Ocean
Chronicle: and beneath the heading il bears
the line, Printed for pastime only, and sent to
friends as letter; therefore not open to criti-
clsm." Its terms are lone letter" The head
ing anu Typography are in the neat style of the
| last generation. The editor must not take this
as criticism, because the Listener very much
admires this style. Think of making up a
newspaper out OF the events on a sailing YES
sell Captain Nichols does it nicely. and has
his column of Local Items,' which are inter

That tother half of us. finding the clothing
too small for our body. has decided that il
would be easier to put Us on low diet aud
bring us down to fit the clothes. than if will be

What fine play the L. 5. shipping law
would make, placed on the stage under The
name OF the "American Ship Pna1ore.''
lie bitterly SatiriZes the shipping law and
then gives it all up:
1t is useless to hope that shipping will ever
revive in the United States. Shipping is dead
from the most southern State up to Maine
where she lies struggling with death. with An
arrow imbedded iii her heart from every State
away from the seacoaSt. Soon the ship will be
numbered with the dead. We hear her sayin.
In feeble tone
Now lay me down to die:
! on can't save me-dc not try;
You've eat my flesh. now pick nv bones,
And that will end my dying groan>.
One would think it would. Business was Sc
good on the Pendleton, however. that the
ocean chronicle got out a very good supple

whole story of journalistic enterprise on boar,

An Old-Fashioned Girl.

Old-fashioned? Yes, must confess
The antique pattern of her dress,
The ancient frills and furbelows,
The faded ribbons and the bows.
Why she should show those shrunken charms
That wrnkled neck, those tawny arms.
l cannot guess; her russell gown
Round her spare form hangs loosely down:
Her voice is thin and cracked: her eye
And smile have lost their witchery.
BY those faint iiests, that tagging wit,
BY each attenuated curl.
She surely is. must admit.
An odd olti-fashioned girl.
Ills long, long since she had Il beau,
And now with those who sit arrow
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something of the old-timc grace.
She yearDs to join the may waltz.
And slyly shifts her smellng-sats.
All. many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes.
Where'er the fever smitten lie
In grimy haunts of poverty,
Along the dark and squald street,
Mid drunken jest> of boor and churl.
She goes with swift and plying feet.
This same old-fashioned girl.

afford to lose all the Northern doubtful States
Or if they can carry Indiana and any one ot
these three they can afford to lose New York
New Jersey and Connecticut. And there is nc
good reason why they shouldn't carry them all.
On the whole, the Republicans can face the
